Hi!
As far as I can make out from CK, the Klingon tlh is the same as the
Icelandic ll, as in Vatnajoekull, for example. I suppose that doesn't
help most people with the pronounciation, but I just wanted to point
out that the sound does exist in a living language. Even if only
about 260 000 people speak it... BTW, any of them on this list :-) ?
